Thanks Mate. Its been a long two years to get to this point.

If I were in the West.. well anywhere but in China I could have built this project bike in less than half this time.

Odd part is it would have cost me about the same though even with all the imorting I had to do 'cause the Western prices are so high. I guess thats called economic balance ha ha

Will update more. I got an open practice on Friday I hope I can make the I can get a nice drive by sound bite once she is broke in, after the first session.

Stay tuned

Well I have been thinking and thinking about this all day. Why is this thing not running right

I got home and changed out the accel coils from the original stock ones. Which I also used last season.

Broom broom started right up purrs like a kitten and when she warmed up she sounded geeaaaarrrrreat! (Tony the Tiger grrrrrrreat)

Listen to her now Mwahahahaha.

A lot better sounding! IMHO

I do not have the time to mess with the accel coils and figure out why it runs 3 ok and one intermittently.

Maybe a wire connector or somehting simple.

but no time and these work.


I removed the stator tonight as well as the voltage regulator and all that extra wiiring.

Sounds great!
I see you're rockin' the sandals with socks there .. Pops Yoshimura used to do that..
So you're running total loss now? It's a proper race bike now!
With the coils .. I can only state the obvious .. check all your connections, and that they are earthing strongly .. are they subject to any vibration? otherwise hmm, who knows!?

[China_Racer_1]

Yah I will have to sort out the coils later.

I got the crank case seal coming over night so by the time the part gets to the dealer then he turns it around It will be friday or saturday before I get the thing.

I got my last practice before race weekend on Sunday. arhhh stressin.

In this shipment I also got ne exhaust gaskets coming these are shot and I can feel leak by.

I also got a new gasket for the clutch cover which seems to be leaking a little bit.

I will fab up a quick no frill metal mount for my steering dampner and once I get it like I want I will bring it to Uli to have it fabbed nicely out of Aluminum. Its easier for me to do it that way. He just needs to copy off.

Uli just got a new lathe and a drill press and the milling machine arrives next week. We can make anything ourselves now Woo Hoo!

Yeah rocking the sock sandle combo.. 1970 style! ha ha

Awsome built and a great and informative writeup China Racer. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates.
It makes me want to hot up my old Tbird and take it classic racing. Oh, I have to get it running first.
